Just something me and my friend talked about in the car while listening to this album."It's like Bruce knows everything I've ever felt," Javed marvels, popping a cassette into his portable player, which brands the year "1987" on the movie about as well as anything can. Its a good way to sum up the end of a breakup, a very well-crafted, sad song about lost love, and then an angry angst-filled revenge-type song reolving into a rather nice string piece of realization of actions and that everything is ok.

"Maybe i shouldnt have done the second one, i feel all fidgety and warm."Ī song about trying to meet up with some friends, probably his love interest, at a club and not finding them. musically, nothing on this album can really compare (but empty cans comes in a close second) mike skinner outdid himself with beauty on this one. The synth dub in this song is killer and is such a late night jam. Totally fucked, can't hardly fucking stand What was I thinking about? Ah who cares, I'm mashed They could have texted me when they were near, but I'm fucked and I don't My head is twisted sever, body's rushing everywhere My eyes are rolling back, I'm rubbing my thighs with my hand ![]() Who cares, there is a tune coming in, that one noise is like I wonder whether they got in, turned away no doubt My heart's beating to quick, I'm fucking tripping out Whoa, everything in the room is spinning, I think I'm going to fall down Maybe I shouldn't have done the second one, I feel all fidgety and warm Sure my belly's tingling a bit, somethings happening I'm sure Glad I'm not a girl in this place, they'll be here 'til dawn Gotta get rid of this pill taste, what are they chattin' so much for? These toilets are a piss take, queue's bigger than the door I'm gonna do another I think, Yeah, one more, these are shit No-one looks like mingling, I can't see her or him It's been ages since I necked it, and smoked six tabs to the nubīelly's not even tingling, I just feel a bit pissed I'm still not feeling anything, this has got to be a dud No that's not them, that's not them either ![]() This nights a tragedy, I keep thinking I saw her Where the fuck could they be? still not over in the corner Wish that bar lady'd appear and come serve over here Why's the message pending? where the fuck are ya?
